In this issue of , Liang and colleagues perform a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9-negative loss-of-function screen and identify kinase as a therapeutic vulnerability in cells depleted of the chromatin remodeler gene. Because ATRX mutations are frequently mutated across a variety of pediatric and adult malignancies, this work may contribute to the preclinical rationale for a precision medicine trial of the WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 (adavosertib) for patients whose tumors demonstrate ATRX loss..
本期 杂志中,梁教授及其同事进行了一项全基因组 CRISPR-Cas9 阴性功能丧失筛选实验,发现激酶是耗尽 染色质重塑基因的细胞中的一个治疗弱点。由于 ATRX 突变在多种儿科和成人恶性肿瘤中经常发生突变,这项工作可能为针对肿瘤表现出 ATRX 缺失的患者的 WEE1 抑制剂 AZD1775(adavosertib)的精准医学试验提供临床前理论依据。
